Hi George,

You probably need to pass the "console" argument to Linux command line.
If your IPMI SOL device is "/dev/ttyUSB0", try adding a
"kernel-arguments" like this in your guixSD configuration:

  (kernel-arguments '("console=ttyUSB0"))

...not sure how to make Grub output to a serial console.

Hope this helps!
